Chapter 163 Fighting Champion

"The next question...is how to deal with the changes in the revolutionary army. Sakaski's fleet was caught off guard by the submarine. Now all our warships do not have the ability to fight underwater. I think To counter submarine attacks, we must make corresponding changes."

Crane slowly moved his somewhat stiff neck.

After all, I am not young anymore. I used to go days and nights without sleeping without feeling tired. Now I have only been sitting for a while, and my body has already sent out fatigue signals.

"Underwater combat equipment... cannot continue to be blank. The same is true for air combat forces. If this continues, there will be no way to deal with the revolutionary army. The Son of the Devil fell into the hands of the revolutionary army. In a short time, There shouldn’t be any big changes, but it’s not certain what the Revolutionary Army will look like in the future.”

Son of the Devil + Revolutionary Army =?

The answer is unknown, but it is by no means optimistic.

The revolutionary army determined to overthrow the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, paired with Nico Robin, who has a history of exploring and interpreting taboos. This is not a simple calculation of 1+1=2. Of course, it only relies on this level of intelligence. It is undoubtedly unrealistic to speculate on future changes in the revolutionary army, and it is unreliable to respond based on this.

However, it is difficult to prepare targeted measures for the unknown future, but countermeasures can be taken based on the information already obtained.

The submarine technology, artificial dragons, and laser weapons for which no samples were recovered were revealed in this operation of the Revolutionary Army... If we continue to turn a blind eye to these things, perhaps the battle against the pirates will not change. , but it will be particularly disadvantageous when fighting the revolutionary army in the future.

"This... I will explain the situation to the above. Funding... is not easy to get!"

Warring States had a splitting headache.

He also understands how important what He said is, but the problem is not whether he understands this, but whether the world government and the Five Old Stars understand this problem, or care about what may happen in the future. Influence.

The Five Old Stars are by no means stupid.

The truth that he can understand cannot be said to be incomprehensible to the five old stars, but... they may not care about this kind of competition in conventional forces. What they care more about is the combat power of the generals and lieutenant generals. As long as they ensure The advantage of upper-level strength is that soldiers at the lower level are cheap and easily replenished consumables.

The navy was also a beneficiary of the great pirate era.

Because they have been ravaged by pirates, the number of people who volunteer to join the navy has been increasing every year. The only thing to worry about is the loss of battleships... If you ask Marshal Kong to help, you should be able to gain more.

"This operation of the Revolutionary Army is particularly powerful. The superiors should relent and provide certain subsidies. It is hard to say whether they can form a fully-organized underwater combat force. However, they will be equipped with corresponding weapons for local submarines, such as torpedoes. of······"

"As for the air force, don't think too much about it. I estimate that some of the artillery orders will be modified into anti-aircraft guns."

"...Let's do it step by step!"

Zefa shook his head. He didn't look obviously disappointed.

"Torpedoes and anti-aircraft guns? Just barely..." He didn't push Sengoku too much. She also knew that the Admiral was not truly free. As one of the three armies of the World Government, the Admiral was emptied by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. Marshal moderation, the status of the Five Old Stars is still above that of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

The hour hand on the clock went round and round.

The senior citizens' club lasted for most of the day, and this small meeting without minutes came to an end.

The navy also took action.

······

Time is the best medicine for rumors.

As Sakaski hunted dozens of pirate groups, using the heads of pirates with bounties worth hundreds of millions to wash away the stigma attached to him during this period, it was replaced by Akainu's illustrious reputation. was disseminated more widely.

Soon, after other new news poured out in an endless stream, and with the secret warning sent by the Navy Headquarters, most newspapers gave up reporting on the Akainu incident and discussed the rare incident of Akainu's failed mission. It also gradually became less and less, and Sakaski returned to Marinevando with more than fifty pirate flags from different pirate groups.

seem,

Everything is back on track.

at least,

On the surface it seems so,

The middle and lower classes of the Grand Line are fighting endlessly. The navy and the pirates love and kill each other. Some countries are also forced to be involved in the battlefield. The big shots sip the wine in the cellar and enjoy the war like a man-monkey show below. The upper class The battle seems to have temporarily marked a break.

In the new world, the four emperors stayed in their own homes. Except for sending their subordinates out to work, they themselves stayed in their respective nests.

After several turmoils, the Shichibukai King has also fallen into a long period of peace. The new King Shichibukai [White Horse] Cavendish finally took root in Paradise. Under the recommendation of Elus, Cavendish replaced him. Crocodile remained in Alabasta.

Of course, this decision triggered a lot of resistance in the country. The citizens were psychologically affected by Crocodile and were extremely wary of Cavendish.

pity,

The resistance of the men was eventually defeated by the women. In this world where freaks are everywhere and beauty is precious, the charm of a handsome guy like Cavendish is enough to break some prejudices, although it also makes the men even more angry. Cavendish When Xu was invited to the palace for a banquet, he was challenged seventy-nine times. If Cobra hadn't stopped him, the men waiting to challenge Cavendish would have lined up from the palace gate to the city gate.

Fortunately, the Kingdom of Alabasta is a desert kingdom with fierce folk customs. It is true that women like Cavendish, a handsome guy, but they are not so crazy that unmarried women across the country will not marry except Cavendish.

Cavendish, the new king, Shichibukai, is pressed for now.

The rest of the Qibuhai under the king are also very honest... This is impossible.

It should be said that except for Elus, all the Shichibukai under the King are very well-behaved, but Eleus... he is full of energy and ambitious, and he doesn't know what it means to keep to himself.

······

Skadi Island, the first research institute of the Kingdom of Exmundo.

"Oh! Did you find out the specific whereabouts?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Let me see, where is our target? Well... this is Whitebeard's territory, right?"

"That's right, we didn't expect that the target would dare to hide on Whitebeard's territory. Whitebeard's territory has always been strictly managed. During the initial investigation, Whitebeard's territory was not included in the key areas... This is ours Mistake.”

The man lowered his head, preparing to receive punishment.

"No, it doesn't matter. You completed the task within the deadline. What you deserve is a reward, not a punishment. Okay, someone will contact you about the reward later. Please step back now!" He waved his hands to dismiss the intelligence officers. , Eleus held the report in his hand and carefully reviewed it from beginning to end.

Then,

He left the office and came to a research laboratory.

"Miss. Ba Jin, excuse me."

Push the door and go straight in.

The first thing that catches the eye is the pile of misshapen pieces of meat on the operating table. Under the illumination of the shadowless lamp, the strangely colored organs can be seen more clearly. Miss. Ba Jin is stepping on the specially raised operating table. , gloved hands shuttled back and forth among the pile of organs.

"Your Highness Elus, I said, materials, I need materials from truly strong men to cultivate powerful super soldiers."

"Didn't I give you a few tubes of blood? They're all the blood of the big pirate!"

"Too little. How many raw materials do you think I used to make Weibull? As a big man as Whitebeard, I spent several years drawing fifty kilograms of blood. In the end, Weibull's success was only Call it a fluke, if you want to recreate a super soldier like Weibull, a few tubes of blood are simply not enough."

miss. Ba Jin’s words were very rude.

This is a very smart and cunning old lady.

She could see that Eleus was not someone who liked to care about everything. As long as she didn't slack off at work, she didn't have to live on thin ice. After staying in the research institute for a long time, she got a good feel for Eleus's character. After that, she spoke much more casually.

Of course, she would only show off so arrogantly when talking about research.

"How many years? Has the stored blood smelled bad?" Elus asked curiously, not caring about Miss. Bajin's tone of voice.

"A layman should not worry too much." Miss. Ba Jin rolled his eyes, "I am not a hospital here. I have a unique method of preserving blood. Compared with this... material, if you want a super soldier, Your Highness, Just provide me with good enough materials. The garbage you sent before can only be made into a bunch of cheap consumables."

Super soldiers, that is, the technology studied by miss. Ba Jin.

Weibull, who chopped off one of Zefa's arms, was the weapon she made using Whitebeard's cells. Elus pulled miss. Bajin into his research institute because he was attracted by this technology. Recently, Over a period of time, nearly ten big pirates with bounties worth hundreds of millions have been offered.

However, none of them fell in love with Miss Ba Jin.

If you only provide a small amount of blood, it is very simple for Elus's attendants to donate blood, but miss. Ba Jin said that if you don't want to push luck and want to stably create usable super soldiers, then it is best to provide a A stable blood source, an object that can draw blood at will without causing death.

In this way, it would be impossible for Elus to sacrifice his reliable subordinates.

so,

Pirates are the best targets, and they must be powerful enough.

It's just that this kind of target is not easy to find. The nearly ten big pirates all have bounties of more than 100 million, but none of them are interested in them. Their quality is not up to standard! The super soldiers created... are just a little stronger than ordinary people and are not considered super soldiers at all. Instead of spending a lot of money to create this kind of garbage, it is better to expand the army!

"Definitely! I've found a new target here. Take a look, can this person do it?"

Eleus said as he handed over the document in his hand.

"I haven't touched it with my own hands, so I can't be sure just by looking at the photos..." He said this, miss. Ba Jin had already taken off his gloves, washed his hands and wiped them clean, picked up the document and read it, "Fighting Champion? Gizas Badges... Bounty, huh?"

"One zero, two zeros, three zeros... 20 million beli? Your Highness Elus, is this a joke?"

If a monster with a bounty of hundreds of millions of dollars is no good, what use can a guy with 20 million berries be of use?

"The bounty is a bit low, but I think he is quite good. This is not a professional pirate. The bounty of 20 million is just for beating a naval officer... You should read it first before talking. "Aleus is very confident.

The bounty of 20 million Berry is indeed very low.

But if you look down on people because of this, you will suffer big losses.

The main group targeted by bounties is pirates, but bounties are often placed on non-pirates. The most famous example is a group of people from the Revolutionary Army. In addition, there are also people who have been offered bounties by the navy or the world government for various reasons. Their bounty may not be very high, but the level of their bounty cannot be used to judge their strength.

For example, this fighting champion, Gizas Badjis.

The bounty of 20 million Berry can be said to be shabby in a ghost place like the New World. If placed in the Four Emperors, it would be at the level of a small boss. However, in fact, this person can compete with the two before and after him. Although no one with fruit abilities is an opponent...but as one of the future leaders of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Badgers is definitely not a guy worth only 20 million beli.

"This muscle... looks really good! If this guy isn't a showman, he should be able to make good products!" miss. Ba Jin had a good eye and watched Badgers in the ring. When I saw the photo of him fighting with someone, his eyes immediately lit up.

She has been researching super soldiers for decades.

During this period, she came into contact with many strong people. Although she was a novice in terms of strength, her sharpened vision was not low.

“Is this goal feasible?”

"I can't guarantee anything, but this guy is much easier to use than the garbage you sent before. If you can send him here, you can make better products." miss. Ba Jin didn't dare to pat his chest. Guaranteed, Elus is used to this.

The scientists under him are all like this, always leaving room for words when speaking.

Well, as long as the result is good!

"I will send the person over as soon as possible."

Eleus said: "But before the target is sent over, please don't perfunctory the current experiment. I am looking forward to seeing a group of bald sea monsters fighting for me underwater."

After saying this, Miss. Ba Jin's expression suddenly turned a lot worse.

She cried bitterly: "Your Highness, although humans and fishmen can intermarry, it does not mean that there are no differences between the two. This cannot be achieved in a short time."

pity,

Eleus has disappeared from the room.
